MICHAEL LEONE Obituary

LEONE, Michael D. Age 27, of Dorchester and former long-time resident of Milton, passed away suddenly on July 19. Michael was the loving son of Christine M. (Hardiman) Leone of Dorchester and Daniel L. Leone, Jr. of Braintree. A devoted brother of Sara E., Lindsay C., and Matthew J. Leone, he is also survived by his many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Michael loved spending time with his family and friends, and his loyalty and compassion was unwavering. He lived each day with purpose, always striving for perfection. He was an avid sports enthusiast, and was proud to have been a member of the varsity soccer team while a student at Milton High School. Mike Madden, soccer coach at Milton High School, said, "Michael was someone who brought much joy to everyone. He put others first, and was trustworthy and loyal, both in competitive sports and in life. He loved every day, especially those times when he ran with his mother or played in his family golf tournament. He will be profoundly missed."Devoted to his country, Michael followed in his grandfather's footsteps enlisting in the U.S. Navy. His true aspiration was to become a firefighter, a testament to his desire to protect and serve others. He was employed by Quincy Public Works Department and was a former employee of Kinnealey Meats in Milton. His co-workers remember Michael as someone who was dedicated, full of energy, and loyal to all-someone who took pride in all he

did. Following his passion for golf, he also enjoyed working at Granite Links Golf Course in his spare time. "We are blessed by the joy of Michael's life and all he brought into our own lives," said Michael's managers. His infectious smile and generous spirit will leave a lasting impression on our hearts forever. Visiting hours at Alfred D. Thomas Funeral Home, 326 Granite Ave., MILTON, 4-8pm, Friday, July 24. Interment private. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to the Leary Firefighter Foundation

To the Leone Family,
I haven't seen any of you in years, but I have fond memories of spending afternoons with the neighborhood kids in Pembroke, Mike being one of them. I remember swimming in the pool, running around the yard and just having fun. I am so sorry for your loss and I am keeping you all in my thoughts.

Some of you might know Mike and some may not ... Mike was Diana's first boyfriend ... Mike and Diana did a lot together they worked together, went to the prom, went golfing, to the beach, concerts, and just hung out ... many days I would come home and find Mike and Diana cooking laughing and joking and just having fun ... Mike loved dinner time he would talk about all his dinners with his family and grandmother he never wanted to be late ... Mike always talked about his dream of becoming a firefighter and his love of sports ... I also had many days of worrying about what mischief the two of them could get into together ...your only 16 once ... I think I was always saying Diana make sure you drive ... even though Mike enjoyed driving ... for all those and more great memories with a special person.

Love Mary (Diana's Mom)

I will remember how Michael would always ask me if "I needed help", when he would drive up and find me outside my house doing some type of yard work. He did not have to ask me this, but would do so every time. I will remember his generosity of spirit, to offer help to a new neighbor like myself. Pat Bernard

To the Leone family,
I do not know any of you, but my thoughts and prayers go out to you.
I met Michael a couple of years back at the meat market. His friendly , kind, warm nature opened right up with that beautiful smile. We got to talking and found out he new my niece. I myself was going through some tough times but Mike and I became friends he was such a great guy, so caring and helpful. I felt like I knew his family, because that was all he talked about every week when I went into the shop. I knew of his dreams to get on the fire dept and we had that in common as my dad was a Boston firefighter. Mike was working real hard to make that dream come true. This world would be a better place with more men like Michael Leone. He was the best. God Bless Mike and his family.
